Google Custom Search allows you to set up a search engine from which you control where the search results come. This is a great way to keep searches safe for your students. By controlling the sites from which the search results are pulled, you know what your students will discover in their search. In addition to being safer for kids, it also allows you to set up a search with more reliable information.
